Thanks to the DC Police, the Streets are Safe!
I am glad to see that the new police chief, Cathy Lanier, has decided to crack down on crime. Her initiative this weekend, "The Weekend Blitz", resulted in 650 arrests. As reported in the Washington Post, "[t]he largest share -- 153 -- was for prostitution and related crimes, followed by 118 arrests for reckless driving and other serious traffic offenses." No doubt, others were likely for that brutal crime of possession/selling of recreational drugs, such as marijuana.
Way to go, Cathy. I, for one, feel much safer. The prostitutes get arrested, let out the next morning, and you tie up the court system with pending cases for small nuisances. The 118 arrests for driving offenses had to be mongers taking the improper right turns off of L street.
The officer's know better - A PR stunt.
I'm actually encouraged by the number of prostitute arrests - who knew there was so much action out there. With LV out temporarily out of action, Trick must have taken the night off, and so the girls all had to hit the streets :)
Meanwhile, at least 40 murders in the city have not been solved just this year - great use of police resources. http://mpdc.dc.gov/mpdc/cwp/view,a,1243,q,561613,mpdcNav_GID,1533,mpdcNav,|.asp

Man, I hope Trick took the weekend off, he last logged on early Friday morning. Judging by what Ravane said, LE was setting up stings in Tricks latest stomping grounds too.
Hope we hear from you soon buddy...
btw, Bdubs, got an email from Star yesterday. Maybe I'll explain to her why I dont bother anymore and see if she has any desire to step up her game again. Ask her to bring a friend over to the looplair and let you and I be the beneficiaries of a sw trying to regain clients. What say you? Street mongering from the couch again...
